Help needed: Paladin cre can't cast spells

[jastey]

Hello,

I created a non-kitted paladin cre, and everything looks good - except the fact that he can't cast any spells, although they are memorised. Could someone have a look at (one of) the cre and tell me what stupidity I did wrong?

 

I checked the cre in game by cheating it in and taing it via Ctrl+Q into the party. I have other cres (cavalier) and they word fine.

You have 3 permanent effects using opcode 144 to disable the interface buttons for Stealth, Turn Undead, and Spell Select.

Thank you! What am I supposed to do now? Just delete those effects? Or, for a non-kitted paladin, only delete the one that disables spells? I really have no idea about what which kit / class is supposed to be able.

 

(I took the Tutu.cre and levelled up, so I have no idea where those effects come from.)

Inquisitors come with Turn Undead/Spell Select disabled. Normal paladins and the other kits shouldn't have any of those effects, so you'll want to remove them. I also noticed that he has a movement modifier effect (176) slowing him down to BG1 speeds that you may wish to get rid of while you're at it.

Thank you for pointing that out!

 

I have to ask again: Should stealth be disabled for paladins?

Well, have you seen any bright knight's hidding in the shadows?

 

The answer to the original question: Yes. Unless, it's a dark(fallen, evil etc.) paladin.

 

And remember, you need to have menu space for all the icons.(3 for weapons, 1 for turn, 1 for spells, 3 for quick items etc.)

Thanks.

Since paladins don't have a Stealth button, trying to disable it probably won't do much, so there's no real reason to have the effect.
